Tax Credit for Child Support

A person paying child support does not get to claim the child as a dependent and the monies that are paid are treated just like your car payment (on your tax return). I feel that the parent paying the child support should also be able to claim the child as a dependent on their taxes as the monies that are paid support that child just like the custodial parents money does.

Sponsor

I am a non-custodial, loving parent that wants equitable treatment instead of being the object of the obvious bias against people who are paying child support. I do not feel people who do not pay child support should be able to get these benefits or any benefits. In fact I support the witholding of income tax refunds for people who do not pay child support.

It all looks so mysterious and inrpising! This is also old even older than the pyramids. There's always a mixture of old and new, but whatever the time, the past is important for the present and the future.

Please don't give up on this petition! Custodial parents are getting away with legal extortion and it needs to be STOPPED! I'm REALLY surprised that this hasn't been considered as a part of the president's recent tax credits. Really sad that Congress is afraid to thoroughly remodel the biased family court system as a whole, leaving all of the burdens & headaches upon the non-custodial parents.

I pay over $8,000 a year just in child support. That does not include the extra I have to pay out for medical bills, daycare, school expenses. And can I claim a dime of that....NOPE. Does my ex have to claim that money she receives as income...NOPE. The system need to change. I believe we allow parents who pay support to claim what is paid for a tax credit and more fathers or mothers will be more inclined to pay their support and take care of their children. It would also lessen the costs to the states for having to go after these dead-beat parents that dont pay. But they have it wrong in penalize those of us who do pay!
